"registered" M1.0 flare from a new region in the far southeast limb

My thoughts exactly ... Hi Nin, nice to see you here today

Is 31 the one referred to as "Bemoth" in the past ??? lol

Yeah Nin you're right it definitely looked like we were dropping out of a decent flare when it came back on.

X-ray flux data back and M flare from old region 1431--03/23/2012

Howdy, folks. I had a feeling this new region was gonna be jumpin'. Oh, we haven't missed any significant flares. As I posted yesterday, the purple line on the EVE Diodes plot is roughly equivalent to the GOES red-line flux (not as nice, but we can keep an eye on things). Nothing bigger than B-flares during the GOES outage. The EVE Diodes plot can be found at the EVE Spaceweather page and also at the bottom of the SDO Sun Now page. I only wish we had a better back-up for the ACE data.

UPDATE Prominence lift off northwest:

OOPS, Slight correction-Lockheed/Solarsoft recorded a C1 flare on the west limb from 1434 on 3/22 during the outage.

hiya :)
no, it was a northern region sunspot that was being called that.
forget the exact region number off the top of my head
1431 did not flare anything big last time around
but it did survive the transition onto the backside of the sun
because of this, its for sure one to keep a close eye on

Hi Nin...good post

Thanks Hugh, forgot about EVE

SS has withrawn from GLP..

A Astrophysisct has not replied to his notes from last 2 days...

Not sure what is happenening and what to make out of it........

Also of interest was a large solar flare from the well known spot 1429 on the far side of the sun

:hugeflareregion1:
Image shows old region 1429 which produced this solar flare earlier this morning. This region produced M and X class solar flares while facing Earth a couple of weeks ago. This is due to return into view in 5 or 6 days time

We could see also a bright cme on stereo images

Watch also latest Lasco C3 Helioviewer:

The cme will not be Earth directed because this region is still on the Farside of the Sun
